Granted: 2013-07-23
Abstract: La présente invention a trait à une combinaison pharmaceutique contenant un inhibiteur de la phosphorylation de la caséine kinase 2, appelé P15, et les cytostatiques utilisés dans la chimiothérapie du cancer et administrés simultanément, séparément ou séquentiellement. Les cytostatiques préférés sont les platines, les taxanes, les alkaloïdes de Vinca V, le 5-fluoro-uracyle, la doxorubicine, le cyclophosphamide, l'étoposide, la mitomycine C, l'imatinib, l'iressa et le velcade (bortezomib). La synergie entre le peptide P15 et les composés chimiques anticancérigènes fait que la concentration efficace de chaque cytostatique dans la combinaison soit entre 1 et 2 ordres de grandeur inférieure à celle correspondant aux cytostatiques seuls. La combinaison de cette invention fait, donc, preuve d'une toxicité nettement inférieure à celle des cytostatiques anticancérigènes, ce qui représente un avantage considérable pour son utilisation dans le traitement de cancer. Par ailleurs, la combinaison administrée de manière séquentielle produit la chimiosensibilisation de tumeurs réfractaires aux cytostatiques précités au moyen du prétraitement avec le peptide P15.

Abstract: On peut utiliser des mesures de la teneur en squalène dans des émulsions d'huile dans l'eau comme moyen de vérifier si des problèmes sont survenus au cours de la production. En particulier, on a trouvé qu'une chute de la teneur en squalène peut indiquer qu'il y a eu des problèmes de filtration. Tester la teneur en squalène dans les lots finaux est plus facile qu'étudier les caractéristiques du filtre et donc un dosage du squalène simplifie le contrôle qualité d'émulsions d'huile dans l'eau.

Abstract: This invention relates to the polymerization of ethylene polymers using a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) that is connected in series to a tubular reactor. The tubular reactor receives a polymer solution from the CSTR. Further polymerization in the tubular reactor improves production efficiencies, particularly with respect to lowering the amount of energy required to recover the polymer and residual comonomer from the solution. The use of tempered i.e. (heated) ethylene in the tubular reactor has been discovered to mitigate gel problems and lower/reduce levels of hexane extractables.
